My hotel is in the old Lijiang town and it’s like many old towns in China that have been rejuvenated and gentrified and then turned into a tourist trap. You’re supposed to pay 80 rmb just to enter into it but as my hotel is inside I ain’t paying. 

It’s a beautiful day although it’s a little chilly in the shade.  You could easily spend a few hours aimlessly wandering around amongst the many selfie sticks,  I left mine at home.  

I had lunch here and the Yak meat is really good and they give you a lot on the plate, usually in Suzhou you have to try and find it. Lijiang has an amazing mountain backdrop and at the moment there is still snow on the peaks. I’m not going to do too much over the next two days apart from enjoy my comfy room, maybe read my book and just generally chillout.
